“Manchester United and Liverpool games, as I have said many times, are without question massive games. That will never change,” Ferguson said.
“In my first derby game with them I got a complete sense of the history of both teams and it hasn’t changed. It is still a massive game.
“It is the game as far as I am concerned, that won’t change.
“We are going in with decent form, there is good confidence in our play, but it is a derby game and anything can happen in derby games.
“Going to Anfield at any time is a hard game.”
United lost both games against Liverpool last term, but Fergie does not believe they have a point to prove this season.
“I don’t see that we have a point to prove. Different games are shaped by circumstances of games,” he explained.
“You can’t look at last season as a barometer of our form or Liverpool’s form. Derby games are derby games and anyone can win it.
“Strange things can happen. It has happened so many times.”
